Moving house is difficult depending on the type of property you are moving out of or moving into. Whether you are moving from a larger family home or townhouse to an apartment or unit, some moves are quick and straightforward, while others need a little more planning because of stairs, limited parking, or restricted areas. Also, there is packing, loading, transporting, and much more.
At House Movers in Melbourne, we understand that moving a house is more than moving household items and boxes from one place to another. Our house removalists in Melbourne take time to understand your moving requirements, and we try to make your move simple and stress-free.
Kitchen: Pack Carefully and Protect Fragile Items
The kitchen can take time to pack, so start with things you don’t use every day, like extra plates and glasses. You should wrap the breakable items safely and put heavy things in boxes so they are easier to carry. Check your food items; seal bottles to stop them from leaking.
Bedrooms: Pack Clothes and Bedding Efficiently
Start with your clothes, shoes, bedding, and other things you don’t use every day. Pack them in suitcases, bags, boxes, and keep a few items out for moving day and the first few days. Keep jewellery, cash, and important documents with you, instead of putting them in moving boxes. It is also a good idea to keep a separate bag with the things you will need on your first day after moving.
Living Room: Protect Electronics, Glass and Furniture
Start by packing your living room first. Taking photos of your TV and other electronic items will help you get them after moving. You can also pack the small items like cables and remotes separately in small boxes, which will help you to find the items easily.
Bathroom: Don't Forget the Small Things
Go through your bathroom and check the toiletries. Dispose of a few items that you no longer need, and close all the bottles tightly to avoid leakage. Keep your toothbrush, towels, and toilet paper separate so you can find them after moving.
Garage: Sort the Heavy and Awkward Items
Start packing the garage early. Go through your tools, gardening items, sports equipment, and storage boxes. Put heavy boxes in strong boxes, but don’t make the boxes too heavy to carry. Check with your movers before packing; check for fuel, chemicals, or other items.
Outdoor Areas
It is easy to forget about the outdoor areas when you are busy packing inside your home. You should always look for backyard areas and balconies to decide which important and useful items that you want to take with you.
You may also need the help of house movers Melbourne to move heavy and bulky items like a BBQ, furniture and bikes.
Declutter Your Home Before Moving
Before your house removals in Melbourne arrive, start packing and take time to decide what is important and what is really useful to you. Most homes have unnecessary, unused stuff that sits in cupboards for years. Some houses also have old and unused clothes, kitchen appliances, and toys. Moving is a great way to clear some of the clutter.
There is little point in spending time and money moving things you don't really want anymore.
Pack One Room at a Time
The simplest way to make things easier is to work through your home one room at a time.
Start by packing the things that you don’t need and don’t use daily before your house movers in Melbourne arrive. You can pack seasonal clothes, decorations, books, and spare bedding.
As the moving day gets closer, pack the things you use the most. Keeping your boxes organised will also help movers to understand and plan the move in a better manner.
Take Care With Fragile and Valuable Items
Not everything needs to go into a box. Some things around the house need extra care once moving day gets close. If anything's fragile—Grandma's china, that glass coffee table, the good TV—tell your movers ahead of time so they know to handle it carefully.
Prepare Your Large Appliances
If an appliance needs to be disconnected from gas, water or electricity, arrange for the work to be completed safely by a suitably qualified person before your house movers Melbourne arrive.
It is also worth checking the size of your larger appliances and the access around your home. A refrigerator may fit perfectly in your kitchen but still be difficult to get through a narrow doorway during house removals in Melbourne.
Pack a First-Night Bag
You will not unpack the whole house on your first night after house removals in Melbourne, so keep the things that are very important and keep them separately in the box.
You should also keep some snacks, drinks, and basic cleaning products handy during house removals in Melbourne. If you have children, include their essentials for the first evening and next morning.
Measure Doors, Hallways and Stairways
Doors, hallways, stairs: check them all before the day itself. A three-seater couch that won't clear a hallway corner is a problem you want to know about on Tuesday, not while it's wedged sideways on Saturday morning. If you notice any tight or difficult areas, tell your house movers Melbourne to plan it.
Prepare Children and Pets for the Move
Kids and pets don't always cope well with the upheaval of a move. Where you can, keep their routine normal in the lead-up. On the day, tuck them away somewhere quiet and out of the movers' path; the last thing anyone needs is a toddler or a dog underfoot while a couch is coming through the door.
